Most unprofessional company I have ever worked with, composed of the most disgustingly incompetent and illiterate people I have ever met in the US. It is shocking how bad this company and how consistently they manage to hit the bottom barrel every. single. time. I will post screenshots of exchanges with their staff soon to give some examples. Stay away from them, they really do nothing for you, except harm (I know, it seems impossible but they somehow manage). It should also be noted, I have noticed since last Fall they seem to be really going out of their way to spend money and put a serious effort into censoring any negative bad press or information about the truth of the company and services, which adds to the scumminess and another reason I am taking time to post this so innocent people have a chance to be informed and warned. read more

Recently, I had a difficult experience with Vitamin T/Aquent with their on-boarding process and not getting paid in a timely manner. Since work has been slow this quarter, ultimately, I just needed that almighty paycheck. In my frustration of not hearing from anyone, I posted a not-so-glowing review about them. As it seems, they were going through a transition period so things were not going as fluid as expected. The company read my Yelp review and stepped in to assist with my issue. After a couple emails and a phone call, I'm back on track with them. This is a redeeming quality of people that I like to work with. I'm hoping to have a long standing relationship with Vitamin T/Aquent and their staff. As a freelancer, I depend on their role in fitting me with the right client and getting paid. Thanks to all involved in getting back in touch with me. read more

Had to leave a review as this agency hooked it up with a job after one day of sending my resume (no joke). I work in social media (the fun field of tech) and had been out of work for a couple months, having left my previous job. Hadn't been applying much but had been contacted quite a few times by recruiters, so decided to go the contract/temp to perm route which is less hassle and quicker. I browsed the Aquent/Vitamin T site and found quite a few matches and sent my resume in for one specifically. Joseph M. contacted me soon after, giving more info on the job and how I'd be a great fit to apply. Fast forward to the next day, I was asked to come in for an interview with the company and was given an offer the same day, no joke. It's been a few days since I'm Employed again, thanks to these guys. Lots of agencies and recruiters contact you and never respond but these guys have really changed my perception. Follow their lead, all you other sucky and annoying agencies! Thank you Joseph and Alicia for being so prompt and responsive, and the cute welcome gift bag too! Yay for getting a paycheck again. read more

I want to share my frustrating experience in Vitamin T that happened to me in the past month. I got the offer in Vitamin T after the interview(June 17th) and that was a six-month contract with Levi's. I signed the paperwork and went to Vitamin T's office for signing other paperwork in San Francisco as well. We agreed that I am going to start to work in Levi's from next Monday(7/17). I am a new graduate student from UC Davis and I am an asian international student as well. Since I accepted the offer and signed for all the paperwork, I started to get ready to work in Levis two weeks ago. I rent the apartment in San Francisco and paid for the rent for first month and deposit as well, which costed me around $4000. That is a lot of money for me, but I think it was worth it since I am going to work and getting paid soon. I also purchased furnitures as well, which costed me another $1000. I also planned to move from Davis to San Francisco this Saturday(7/15) so that I could start to work on 7/17. During this period, I also turned down two other offers from other companies in South California. I just got everything settled down in San Francisco. However, I got the call from Vitamin T yesterday(7/13), and they told me that they withdraw my offer for no reason. She was extremely indifferent in the phone and did not care about my feeling at all after I told her my situation and all my loss if they canceled my offer this late. She did not say anything about it. I was really hopeless. I paid for the rent, deposit and furniture and even turned down two other companies, but they just canceled my offer three days before my staring date to work. I cannot accept it. I am frustrating now because now I can not afford my expensive rent now and I am also extremely upset about how they could be so indifferent and do not care about their employee(yes, they may don't even treat me like an employee). I am extremely sad, broken and hopeless. As a new graduate international student, I could not believe what happened to me yet, but I did feel their discrimination against me from their attitude towards me. I really need their explanation and let you know what they did and hopefully it may help you to know more about this company. Thank you. read more

Vitamin T is the best recruiting agency when it comes to preparing for your application and interview. Chelsea went out of her way to schedule and pay for an industry expert to review, interview, and asses my abilities! Brad's time was priceless in discussing key talking points, portfolio recommendations, asking and answering questions! I am grateful for Vitamin T's investment in me. *note: you must bust your @ss on your portfolio and the suggestions took a considerable time to implement - and worth it. Thank you Chelsea, Brad, Gina, and the rest of the Vitamin T/Aquent team! read more

After a pre-screening and initial appointment, my "agent" seemed very engaged in helping me find work. However, after our meeting, she totally ignored subsequent emails, and no one else at the office could answer for the sudden lack of communication. I can understand a staffing company not returning calls/emails in general (obviously there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of applicants eager to find work), but I think its a bit unprofessional for a group like this to ignore a person they've already determined to represent. This was my first experience with an employment agency, and thankfully my last - luckily I found a full-time gig the old-fashioned way. read more

I had a horrible time with Vitamin T/Aquent. I worked with 3 different recruiters in the agency and they consistently did not follow up with me. I was submitted to jobs before being spoken with. I was asked to interview for positions below my level that weren't a good fit. As a UX Designer in the bay area I thought I would have a much better experience. I had used Aquent in the past and the first time was a good experience, however over the years it seems like less care is taken. I certainly will not be recommending this agency to anyone. read more

I highly appreciate it and am looking for to working together in the future as well! read more

It's no surprise that after being placed in several wonderful, challenging roles, that I decided to use Vitamin T to find freelancers now!

I had a very positive experience working with Vitamin T. After applying for a position through the Aquent website, a few weeks later I received a call from Erika at Vitamin T for a possible short contract assignment. She was very helpful, personable and informative. The process was fast and I was hired for the temporary position; Erika made it feel effortless. Everyone at Vitamin T is friendly, professional and proactive. I welcome the opportunity to continue working with them, and definitely with Erika! Thank you for all your efforts. read more
